My philosophy on repairable consumer goods has nothing to do with your brand loyalty fanboy bullsh-t, and everything to do with electronic waste and right-to-repair.
Come on man everyone knows you work for MS. You’re the only person here who was a literal bias and you’ve never wavered from it, nothing you say can ever be taken seriously. Miss me with this environmental BS, lol. Instead of throwing away a controller you throw away 100 pairs of batteries over the years, not to mention the packaging of the batteries, the shipping of the batteries to the store, you going to the store to buy them. It’s monumentally worse for the environment to have replaceable batteries
